I got this error when running the query
*MySQL said: *[image: Documentation]http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Error-returns.html #1062 - Duplicate entry '0-sysop' for key 1
is this normal?

How do you mean invalid? Do you know the username or not?
Anyhow, I suppose you can always resort to mysql query. Namely, and I'm assuming you indeed have mysql access, create an account that you want to become an admin. Then do the following query: INSERT INTO user_groups (ug_user, ug_group) VALUES (<the_user_id>, "sysop"); where <the_user_id> is the ID which you can obtain from preferences. It's symmetrical for making someone a "bureaucrat" (a user that can change user rights for other users).
